Overview

Originally built circa 1960, the updated and expanded four-bedroom rambling farmhouse, provides a blend of charm and modern convenience with a top-tier Mitsubishi Mini-Split system for AC, heat, and dehumidification backed by state-of-the-art Buderus hot water baseboard heating system. The ground floor includes the kitchen and breakfast area, open living/dining area, den (with glass sliding doors to a large deck), two bedrooms, and a full bath. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a bath. There are handsome hardwood floors throughout. The garage, utility area, laundry, and workshop (with shelves and cupboards) are located below grade. Set back from the road among age-old trees, the landscaped 0.44-acre country lot is bordered by a tiny tributary of the Claverack Creek on one side and the long-abandoned foundation bed of the 1840 Boston & Albany Railway providing the back boundary. (A remnant of the railway is a picturesque sturdy small bridge crossing the stream built with huge stones.) Three outbuildings provide great storage space. Located a few minutes from Columbia Golf and Country Club, the Campus Art Gallery, the High Falls Conservancy, and Taconic State Parkway and only 15 minutes from Hudson and Amtrak, the property is two hours from NYC and centrally located to all that makes Columbia County special - quaint villages, the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, Catamount Mountain Resort, and only 20 minutes to Dutchess County and Berkshire County. Tax assessment (as listed) was lowered for 2025, potentially lowering taxes by about 1000/yr. Taxes listed here are from 2024.
